no. there is a huge table with pci ids and other attributes that match
each boards and their associated so called "board enable". every
board needs to be added manually. not every board needs a board enable
though (most work without one). usually there are no changes to the
chip's contents on boards that need a board enable but dont have one
yet if one "writes" with flashrom. your case seems to be different
though and someone needs to look at it in detail.

of course there could be some other changes since 0.9.3 that make your
board work, but i am not aware of any such changes.

what you could try is to write your backup again. if you are lucky
flashrom can at least write the parts it have touched so far and bring
the contents back into a consistent state again.
